It is perfectly proper when a
woman has her first spring chicken
to pick the feathers off sitting on

A western editor remarks as fol
lows: "When a eirl is first enirae-
ed she figures 011 a ten room house
in a swell part of town. As time
eoes on the house crr.idu.illv de-
, r
creases in size until it is a four
room structure. Then all the fan
cy trimmings are left off, and next
the house is located in a remote
part of town. Finally when the
wedding comes off, it is announced
that the couple will reside with the
bride's father."
The man who fails to go to the
primaries Satuiday a for noon and
then growls because his choice of
candidates was cot successful de
serves neither sympathy nor respect,
At the primaries is where the masses
of the voters have the power to
make the ticket just as they would
have it, and the man who don't
take interest enough to go out and
voice his own wishes in this matter
has no right to kick afterwards if
his favorites fail to receive the nom
ination. Benjamin Colley died Wednes
day night at the home of his
daughter, Mrs. Charles Poust, at
Moreland. He was aged seventy
seven years, seven months and
nine days He is survived by six
children: Mrs. Poust, Mary and
Stott, at home; Mrs. Alice Fritz,
of Benton; Alexander, of Willow
Grove, and Mrs. Thomas Hess of
Colir.nbia county. The funeral
was held Saturday afternoon at 1
o'clock from the Lutheran church
at Moreland. The Rev. J. C. Fas
sold officiated.
The concert by the Catawissa
Band attracted a large crowd of

ure and enjoyment of the patrons.
An euort is being made to

Owing to the fact that tickets to
the number considerably greater
than the capacity of the Opera
House were sold for the recent pro
duction of "A Scrap of Paper," by
the High School seniors, the class
hss acquiesced to the popular de
mand and will repeat the perform
ance at the Opera House, this even
ing. The proceeds will be given
to the Public Library. The known
merit of this entertainment and the
object for which it is to be given
should serve to attract a big au
dience.
Go to the polls Saturday and
vote, mat is the time and the
proper place to express your choice.
Not only that, it is your duty as a
good citizen, to go to the polls and
vote for the best men. It will be
too late after the nominations are
made. The men who receives the
greatest share of the popular ap
proval at the primaries on Saturday
will in all probability be the ones
who will fill the offices, so if you
have a choice, the time to ex cress
it is Saturday. So many remain
away from the polls and then com
plain and find fault with the per
sons nominated.
George B. Clemmens of Berwick.
candidate for the office of Register
and Recorder, withdrew from the
fight Tuesday uight. In his state
ment to the voters he says matteis
of a private nature which require
his presence at home, renders it
impossible for him to continue the
canvass. He also says that he is
of the belief that inasmuch as the
South side of the river has never
bad a Register and Recorder, this
nomination should be accorded the
candidate from that side.
The withdrawal created quite a
stir in political circles and the prob
able effect upon the other candi
dates, has been the all absorbing
theme of discussion.
The teaching of agriculture in
the country schools is receiving at
tention. It is believed that if the
children of farmers are taught re
garding some things done on the
farm, and especially where mis
takes are made, they will have a
desire to learn and take more inter
est in literature relating to farming.
Thes study of agriculture iu the
school will not greatly interfere with
the other courses, and can be made
more interesting if lectures are giv
en and practical demonstrations
made in botany, also showing the
texture of soils and the growing of
crops, etc. It is possible that some
method of instruction may be de
vised that will induce the young
men to take more interest in farming.

Bass More Plentiful
Fishermen along the Susquehanna
river are authority for the statement
that the bass season, which will
open on June 15 promises to be an
unusually good one. For the last
two seasons bass fishing along the
Susquehanna has been very poor,
and many ivermen believed it was
due to the pollution of the water.
This year the shad fishermen below
Lancaster report the presence of a
large number of bass in their seines
which of course were returned to
the water. One bass temporarily
seined near Whittaker's Battery
weighed six pounds and this
with other large ones caught
shows that bass are plentiful in the
river.
Further evidence that fishing for
bass will be good is furnished in the
fact that local fishermen have on
several occasions during the past
weeks caught some nice specimens
of this species while angling for
other kinds.
